News:

For the month of June we have a new character showcase. Please warmly welcome Pterano as he regales us with totally true stories of his exploits. The character showcase topic for this month can be found here.

Also please keep in mind that we have two active fanfiction prompts. If you would like to participate in the May prompt (which expires at the end of June) or the June prompt (which expires at the end of July) then please feel free to submit your stories. Details on the rules for the prompt challenge can be found here. The list of monthly prompts can be found here. I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

The current fanart prompt is Comic, so get your ruler out and get creative!

Can't help you since you took your old image down. Was there something wrong with it?

Usually what you can do is go to http://www.gifworks.com and use their online tools to make the animated gif smaller. Reducing your colors to 128 or less is really what makes the file size shrink and the images don't suffer too much.

Unfortunately, that free online gif editor only allows gifs up to 400k. It's pretty much useless to me cuz of the large gifs I have. Most of them are at least 5MB (around 5000k) if not more. I would not be able to have a gif as an avatar if I didn't have photoshop.
